Basic Amount

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or amount:

“It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it ... and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied ... and it is all one.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)

“Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he is supposed to be doing.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
